Annual Donation Drive 

1. Do I have to donate to the annual donation drive to become a THR PTO member?

No, not at all. Our bylaws state that anyone (parents, teachers, staff, alumni) can join the THR PTO. Please make sure to create an account if you are a new user. If you already have an account, please make sure to update your family information (e.g.: your children's grade and homeroom teacher). This is the ONLY WAY for the PTO to obtain your contact information.

The PTO is not allowed to obtain your contact information via HISD (our school). If you would like to
receive our newsletters, reminders, and any other communications, please sign up for an account.

2. Can I donate an amount other than the ones listed?

Yes, absolutely.
Please keep in mind that the lowest level is set at $25 so that you can receive a car decal or a Ram
magnet, otherwise, you can choose to donate any denominations. E.g: a custom amount of $600 -->
incentives will be given at the $500 level.

3. For companies that offer an employer match program, what do I have to do?

The answer is that it varies by company. We suggest checking with your Human Resources department prior to committing to an employer match. Please be sure to fill out the company name on the form, the list provided includes companies that we had experience with, but it may not be comprehensive.

We have an amazing team of volunteers who will work with you and your employer to ensure the matched amount will be credited to the PTO. Please note that you will be recognized at the total donation level after your employer match is received. Eg: $500 individual contribution + $500 employer match = $1000 incentives (please go ahead and choose the $1000 level incentives)

Please email membership@throgers.org for questions or just to let us know that we should be expecting a company payout soon, that will help the team tremendously!

4. Can I make individual donations for each of my children at TH Rogers or do I have to donate as a family?

That is absolutely up to you! In the past, families have done so because each of their children would like to receive the same incentive items. Please note that you are only able to choose incentive levels for each donation, we will not be able to combine donation levels and give you a higher tier incentive (eg: $500 for child A; $500 for child B: each child will receive $500 level incentives. However, we can recognize your name on our website under the $1000 level donors if you would like to be acknowledged as a family).

5. Can I buy the incentives from the Annual Donation Drive?

Unfortunately, our incentives cannot be purchased individually. We have come up with these special
incentives to encourage more members to donate. As you know, our school is unique and is considered one of the most sought-after schools in Houston, we need all the help we can get to provide the best experience for our students. The school had also recently (2022-2023 school year) added one additional classroom for each elementary grade. There are now a lot more students to care for and to provide assistance for teachers and staff. We hope that you can help to contribute as much as possible to ensure the success of our Rams!

6. Now that I have donated, is there anything I can do as a PTO member?

YES ABSOLUTELY! There are many volunteer opportunities with all the fun events that we have planned for the upcoming year. Be sure to look out for sign-up sheets for the various events. Most importantly, we urge you to attend our monthly PTO meetings where our principals will give important updates and our board members will discuss important initiatives. This is where your voice can be heard!

7. How do I make a corporate matching donation?

If you want to donate at the Scholar level ($125 payment from you + $125 match from your company), please enter a Custom Amount of $125.

a) Enter your estimated Corporate Match of $125 and the name of your employer. 

b) Please select a Scholar $250 level incentive!

c) Click Save and Checkout. There, you will make a partial payment of $125. Your account will show a balance of $125 which we will remove upon receiving your match payment.

Please feel free to email: membership@throgers.org for further questions.
